I love this set. It literally has everything I need. All my kitchen jobs are covered from shaping and peeling to vegetable prep and slicing and carving this set has it all. The stainless steel blades are very sharp and easy to maintain. I also love that it has eight steak knives so there is enough for company. No more mismatched sets on my table. The handles are very comfortable to hold and the set looks very impressive on my countertop.
